(Closed) Hi – introduction…..

I’ve been lurking forever, love WB – it’s not snarky compared to some other sites – always great encouragement and insight. I finally joined today, got all excited and just started posting away so I wanted to intruduce myself.

We went to high school together, but never really hung out or even talked for that matter. Went away to colleges in different states and reconnected thru mutual friends about 4 years ago and been together ever since. We’d been sort of talking about marriage, and he totally surprised me with a proposal while on summer vacation.

OttawaBride – glad you like the name. That’s what the fiance keeps saying to me “have you blown the budget yet?” so when I had to think of a name this morning, I had an ah ha moment. We have a very strict budget, no wiggle room at all and I’m happy to say – I’m right on target! He, on the other hand, has decided he’d like to have a band instead of a DJ and I had the pleasure of telling him “it’s not in the budget” Felt good!
